BBC Weather forecasters have predicted a wet and blustery bank holiday weekend, but there are some hopes of clearer weather as we move towards Monday.

BBC Weather forecaster Nick Miller told viewers to expect thundery showers and heavy winds this afternoon, but said that the bad weather could ease off in time for the bank holiday Monday, albeit with temperatures feeling much cooler.

Mr Miller told BBC Breakfastviewers that after a relatively clear start to the day, heavy rains will start to move in:

“There’s some sunshine to start the day, particularly across Eastern parts of the UK.

There are some showers already coming in across North Western areas, and that is the story of the day. We are dodging the downpour this morning with sunshine and showers, but its feeling quite breezy, quite blustery.
